      Thanks. I know Choice reviews aren't the be-all and end-all, but does anyone know what they say about this? Also I am wondering if this is the right capacity size for a 3-person family..

          Well, hoping for someone with access to share it, yes. They're membership-walled, which is understandable, but a summary of their opinion of this particular model wouldn't be unfair

        Eh I see someone has already kindly posted in on the previous deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/16037929/redir

      • Horacio on 01/01/2025 - 14:02

        Key problem I notice is "Bad points: Very long cycle time" .. they're not kidding, standard wash time (minutes) 221… Is that a typo? My current toploader takes 40 mins, so this is over five times longer. This could ruin my current practice of getting a load done in the morning. Do folks with these do their washing the night before (noisy, surely?)

    • Budju on 01/01/2025 - 00:55

      Seconded. This thing is a unit - going strong for over a year now.

      • pingponged on 01/01/2025 - 20:08

        I would really hope it lasts more than a year for any washing machine…

        • Budju on 01/01/2025 - 20:17

          I think the point I was making was that I have used this washing machine for a year, and my verdict is that it's very good. Sorry if you missed that.

    My old Serie 4 Bosch Classic lasted as over 13 years. Paid just under $500 (back around 2010) and came with a 12 pack of Omo powder which lasted us about 2 years.

    Was a brilliant machine. As the family grew, we were running multiple loads each day.

    Eventually the brushes on the motor wore out ($8 fix from eBay for new brushes), but eventually the main bearing on the drum developed play which caused the inner drum to rub on the outer drum causing the inner drum to leak water.

    Ended up getting a new Bosch and tearing down my faulty one. Kept the water pump and motor (with new brushes) which got me about $200 on eBay as working spares. The old machine was picked up (striped internally by me) when the new one was delivered.

    Parts availability and lots of info on the web for common faults is why I use Bosch (or BSH) whitegoods.

    • Sydney-bargainhunter on 31/12/2024 - 13:04

      My 3 year old Bosch series 4 started to make a grinding sound when spinning and won't speed up past like 50rpm or something, so the clothes come out soaked, do you have any idea what might be wrong? Can't find a video anywhere with the same sound.

      Trying to decide whether I need to just buy a new one like this but honestly was hoping a Bosch would last a lot longer, $200 just for the callout for a technician which is like 25% of the cost of this new machine.

      • tjioer on 31/12/2024 - 13:34

        I got the same issue recently.

        It turned out you need to clean the impeller which is located at the bottom right of the machine of my series 8. Just refer to the manual and it's pretty easy.

    In case y'all wondering, the WGG244ARAU is made in Germany (some of the cheaper Bosch units are out of China).

          • Buckshot on 31/12/2024 - 12:30

            @illusion99: Correct. I've got a Serie 8 Washing Machine, and it's made in Germany.
            All of the Heat Pump Dryers are made in Poland afaik.

            But I was today years old when I learnt that Bosch now make appliances in Spain.

      Spain, generally the higher tier models i.e. Series 8 are German manufactured.

      The only negative feedback I have heard, both from other users and online reviews, is the dispenser not clearing of water after wash

      It seems to be everywhere nowadays, I recently bought a Serie 6 10kg (WGA254U0AU) at TGG with the hope of Euro-made and apparently it's made in China. While browsing JBHifi the other day, I saw a Bosch Serie 4 washer made in Poland.

      • ozstig on 31/12/2024 - 12:00

        It depends on the appliance. Serie 6 dishawashers are German made but this doesn't appear to be.

    Can you use these without using the i-DOS, just putting powder or liquid into the drum with clothes? Curious if i-DOS fails or don't like using it what are the options

      Manual dosing option.

    Bought one of these just over a week ago. First one was completely DOA - the door switch (I assume) was faulty and no matter what I did it would not start a load as it warned that the door was always open when it was not.

    Called Bosch and they agreed with my armchair diagnosis and wanted to send out a service technician…. in mid January. I kindly reminded them that I had literally just bought it hours earlier and I would not be waiting almost a month for a service on a brand new product. They were somewhat decent about it, but pointed me back to the retail and the retailer dropped me off a new one a day or so later and took the "old" one away. That one worked flawlessly out of the box, but has really soured my 20+ years as a Bosch fanboy.

            @Ademos: I am also disappointed that space shuttles have exploded. I'm also coping just fine.

            Once again for the people in the back who need to learn some listening mechanisms or they are in for a long, misrepresented experience in this life: I did not complain about the service, nor the "response".

            • Ademos on 01/01/2025 - 19:46

              @henno: "really soured my 20+ years as a Bosch fanboy."

              One failure, instantly rectified at your door, in 20 years.

              Yes, I see why that's worthy of a tantrum. I stand corrected.

              • henno on 01/01/2025 - 20:15

                @Ademos: The product, pal. A DOA product soured an otherwise perfect track record. And I'm disappointed that it happened.

                There seems to be only one tantrum going on at the moment and it's not me.

  • robbie613 on 31/12/2024 - 16:57

    Got the older Series 8 (german made) 8.5kg white washing machine. It's does everything it should and very well - I do suggest dialling the spin speed down to 1200rpm to save on wear and tear (on both the machine and your clothes). Had it for 4 years, 3 loads a week and have 0 issues, it's perfect. I hear so many people having issues with the high end Asko and Miele machines down to the cheap Samsung ones, only issues i've read about Bosch is on their i-DOS types which I would avoid.

    • Horacio on 31/12/2024 - 17:45

      This is an iDOS though right?

      • robbie613 on 31/12/2024 - 21:29

        Just use it with manual dosing instead.

    • PeeDee on 31/12/2024 - 18:07

      What's wrong with Samsung? I haven't had any issues with it so far so I don't see a reason to change.

        Relax buddy, I'm not asking you specifically to sell your machine and buy this one!

        Samsungs are just generally the worst quality with any of their whitegoods. They make good TVs though.
